First, thanks to all the posters who guided me on my search. It is official: I am attending Syracuse University. I did not bother to apply Iowa State or the University of Minnesota. In the end, I thought that paying the extra for Syracuse University was better. Financial aid at 'Cuse brings down the cost by a couple thousand, but the extra cost for tuition is worth it in my opinion.

At 'Cuse, I will be able to run on their cross country track and field team. Unfortunately track and field and cross country do not give out scholarships like football and basketball. Syracuse is also an overall better school. While Iowa State and Minnesota Twin Cities may be on the same par as 'Cuse, 'Cuse's reputation is lightning years above Iowa State or Minnesota.

'Cuse has the best campus. 'Cuse has a pizza place, Chipotle, and some independent restaurants I never heard of on their campus. The lack of fast food restaurants in Downtown Syracuse surprised me though. The architecture at Syracuse is nice also. The campus at 'Cuse in my opinion is just as nice as you would find at Yale or Princeton. The only ugly building on campus is the Carrier Dome. But the interior of the Carrier Dome is one of the most exciting college sports arenas in the country. Maybe not like the stadium at Oregon or 'Bama but still exciting.

In the end, paying the extra $$ for 'Cuse seems worth it. Plus out of state tuition is increasing by like $3500 a year at the University at Minnesota. And I looked on indeed.com and if I enjoy Syracuse during my 4 years there, maybe I will settle in Syracuse.
